TEREZ!!!!!!

The Chiefs are close to a deal with S Tyrann Mathieu, I’m told

Great fit in this scheme

ughhh.....but w/e. I'll begrudgingly jump on the bandwagon.

Yes I posted it again but erection time!!!

Sweet!

$42 million for 3 years, per Schefter.

If there aren’t injury issues (like with any contract) it’ll be great for us. That SS robber position is perfect for him.

Redmamba is a phony. A big fat phony.

3 year deal 42M.

Yuck. Would rather have had Thomas.

Man, that’s a lot per year.

Bet it’s like Watkins where he’s for sure gone after 2020.

And his broken legs?

Gotta see the break down at least. But it’s better than having Rod Parker back there.

Walter Matthau would be a better signing.

Right because this guy here is a marvel of perfect health

$14M per - same as Collins.

I'm not a fan

Hated Rod Barker

If its 3/42 thats 14 per year! Yeah i would have rather had Thomas

Nice!!!!!!!

So we gave up Houston for a retread Saftey. :rolleyes:

Yessssss!!!! Honey Badger is ours! He was the Chiefs top target too

Now we just need to draft a corner and the secondary is looking pretty good.

Finally something positive. That's all I ask. Help on defense.

This is sickening.

At least it isn’t a bunch of years. They’ll be able to get out of it after 2 years.

Can we trade for Patrick Peterson now

Thank you lord. I swear some of you guys live to bitch about anything this organization does.

Yup. Don't like this signing at all.

It's gonna take some time to talk myself into this one...

I love the signing. What's going to be the plan? He reportedly hated playing FS and likes matching up man-to-man and playing the run.

Won't Berry be down in the box, matching up with tes and playing the run?

Hes dead.

Somebody sell me on the honey badger because I thought we needed guys who can cover?

I'm in this boat.

yeah but 3 instead of 6 is a big difference.

****

YES

LETS PARTY BOYS

Wanted this guy the whole time. I’m so ****ing happy!!!

Hey man - I'm really hopeful he absolutely kicks ass. Personally, I would have liked to have seen money spent elsewhere on cheaper players (multiple).

Hopefully, he stays healthy and kicks ass for the secondary.

@Run Kc

The only way I'll be comfortable with this move is if we cut Berry.

Fills a hole before draft, ****ing love it!!!!!!!!!

Glad to get some safety help. I hope that he's a difference maker in Spags defense. That's a ton of money for him.

Y'all suck. He had a pretty good year coming off a torn ACL and he's infinitely better than what we had at safety last season. If they can make the money work then who gives a shit????

Literally me after the news

https://i.pinimg.com/originals/4c/a5...8e47040b59.gif

Spags will use him as a SS robber, blitzing quite often I would guess. Same role Collins used to play under him.

**** yes!!!

Will you be saying the same thing next February when Mahomes is hoisting the Lombardi?

Don’t be a pussy. This is what going all in looks like.

I’ve wanted the Honey Badger for awhile now.

Love this signing! He was a beast against the Pats and that must have counted for something #stellar

Ship worthy?

This

Spags is going to blitz the shit out of him

im good with this, the way its been going the price is insane so **** it. I really like these 3 year deals and cant wait to see how its structured

Well, get ready...

So how many games will both Berry and Mathieu be healthy?

This!!!!!

Exactly, we could have got him cheap. :)

1. It's not my money.
2. You can always manipulate the cap.
3. He's only 26 and a proven star at a position of need.

Lot of cash for him.

I think this puts to bed that Redmamba has no info but some will still take his word as gold

I didn't realize he's only 26. Feels like he's been around forever.

Are we sure Berry even sticks?

Feel like they play similar roles. But maybe they want to try Berry out full time as the FS.

**** no i'd rather take the chance with Berry.

Wish we would have held out of this free agency. Drafted and went from there. We have some young guys that need playing time. We’ll never have money at this rate.

And **** Berry

Never have money? If that’s the case then how do they keep spending so much money every year?

Wbf

Mathieu last two season: 32 games
Berry: 3

F off with this BS

Now cut Berry and get a guy like Gipson to play FS?

Well, he's still here

He's trollin'.

I award 2 Veach Power Points.

Not a whole lot considering he's at negative 844 at the moment.

Hes played every game the last 2 seasons. He hasnt been hurt in 3 years. Im hoping Fords ass is traded and Berry is cut.

I LOVE this signing. IF, and it's a big IF, this kid can stay healthy anyone bashing this signing is going to have to eat their words BIG TIME. This kid is a player, he's a leader, he's got heart, and he'll ball his ass off to win a ring. GREAT pickup.

Boom.

This is ****ing laughable. 14 per for a mediocre safety. yay.
